A car exploded in the early hours of Sunday near a police station in Dunmurry, a suburb of Belfast. The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) confirmed the operation in the Kingsway area and evacuated residents of nearby homes. According to Britain's BBC, no one has been injured so far, with suspicion pointing to a car bomb. BBC News ↗
Police sealed off the surrounding area with cordons and asked the public to avoid the location. Sinn Féin MLA Danny Baker, whose Belfast West Dunmurry constituency includes the area, said on social media that information was still scarce so far and urged drivers to take a detour. Neither the motive for the attack nor the identity of the perpetrators is publicly known. BBC News ↗
The PSNI has launched an investigation, has not yet provided more detailed information, and the cordons in Dunmurry remain in place. Bomb incidents near police facilities in Northern Ireland are rare but not unknown occurrences — British security forces have traditionally linked them to activity by the dissident republican scene.
